Hi Helge,
Package: powerpc-utils
Version: 1.1.3-22
Severity: normal
Recent kernels seemed to have changed the behaviour of the fn keys. I
recently upgraded from 2.6.4.19 to 2.6.4.24 and now the F-keys have
their hot key behaviour by default and the "normal" behaviour only if
fn is pressed, which is quite annoying. (I tried 2.6.22 from Lenny
which exhibited the same behaviour). I did not find a kernel option to
revert this but found fnkeys which should be able to change, but:
I haven't followed powerpc for a while but there should be other ways
aside from fnset to deal with this (perhaps via input devices?).
twotofive:~# fnset -u
unknown PMU version 17
twotofive:~# fnset -v -d -u
writing 2 bytes: { 0x06 0xea }
read 2 bytes: { 0x00 0x11 }
unknown PMU version 17
What hardware is that on? Please send the output of /proc/cpuinfo.
Please do also test fnset -f -v -d -u and report the output. If that still
fails to toggle the fn setting, I will need the section reporting the ADB
probe results from your dmesg output.
These new models still do have ADB keyboards, do they?
Cheers,
Michael
